I always watch your content because I love tanks and once when I was six we went to a tank museum in Fairfield California also I made a fake tank it’s a hago with a 75mm short gun and it’s considered a light tank

Our museum was so happy to have you there. I’m actually one of the many volunteers! It’s so cool to hear you talk about the Ontario Regiment and our museum! I met you on the first day, I felt bad as I was so nervous to speak to you as (to me at least) are were a big name to have at our museum. Thank you for coming. Thanks for the photo I got with you next to the Sherman! Keep up the great work and I can’t wait to see what you do next!

[@johninnh4880]

I was a tank crewman in a M60-A1. Driving it was a real gas. Also, at the firing range, the 105 MM was insanely accurate. I agree it had a ton of room.

[@thomaswilloughby9901]

The M60A1 was also my first MBT I started as a driver and later got to command the A3.

[@Shadow_Lunatale]

@@Sannsen1 In theory, everything needed for it is already aviable for tanks and such. I guess you're familiar with the various sensor systems used on tanks and troops for large training operations by armies around the world. We just need some billionaires to pick it up so we get the "cool" action and not the strict training focused sessions.

[@alamrasyidi4097]

the fake tank shots are underwhelming 🤣 but honestly, id love to be on that tank when it does so, and being in the presence of a working real world tank in general. i guess im just a bit sad senshado isnt real lol

[@drrocketman7794]

Hearing the Continental V-1790 in that M60 is really cool, I miss the sound. ETA: Former M48/M60 series AVLB operator.

[@Vince_A_Bull]

I had purchased a ride in the T-54 at Aquino 2022 and the driver was very generous with his time and knowledge. Having ridden in the T-54 you can feel how unrefined the driving controls are and how much the crew would be jostled around just in normal driving, nevermind trying to actually crew the tank while in combat and would have been very tiring. In comparison both the M60 and Chieftain were like riding in a cushy sedan.

[@pradesianmc]

I went to the Aquino Tank weekend last year in 2023, and it was a blast. Rode the Leopard 1A5 around and got to see all the awesome exhibits they had on display. Cool to see that you got to experience that too!

[@couchpotatoi]

It was awesome seeing you there man, hope to see you again next year!

[@teaeff8898]

I was there on the Sunday! Heard your presentation. 👍😁First time I’ve been, and after seeing a lot of Tiger Days and Mil Tracks on KZbin, I was quite impressed at the show that was put on! As a “local” (about an hour down the 407) I definitely will be attending again! Also want to see more of the museum on a quiet weekend.

[@DeliveryDemon]

I drove an M4 once. I don't remember WHERE it was? But it was AWESOME. The controls are relatively EASY to use. Also, what was it like in the M60A1?

[@ThommyofThenn]

Just like driving a car

[@DeliveryDemon]

@@ThommyofThenn Kind of. It was simple

[@ThommyofThenn]

@DeliveryDemon I can't remembers where I heard it. Some tank video certainly. It was talking about how tank controls used to be very different and hard to learn. Then one of the Sherman family (i think) came along with much more familiar controls and the video made that comparison. You may or may not have seen it but i wanted to try to explain!

[@DeliveryDemon]

@@ThommyofThenn The Sherman has tiller controls. Two sticks.

[@ThommyofThenn]

@@DeliveryDemon must have been a different one. Thanks 😁🤓

[@thomaswilloughby9901]

As to which cold war tank was better I have to give it to the M60. When you have to live on the tank for a few weeks you appreciate the extra room.

[@ConeOfArc]

I can definitely imagine that, and that is part of why I said the M60 won. The cramped conditions in the others weren't that bad just climbing around in it but definitely seems not fun if you need to be in it long term

[@yamatokurusaki5790]

Room isn't everything

[@thomaswilloughby9901]

@@ConeOfArc I served on M551s, M60A1 and A3, M48A5s and M1s. The M60A3 was probably the best since the optical range finder was gone. I have been inside both T55s and T 72 and barely fit. To live in I would take the M60, to fight in give me an M1.

[@VayeWayure]

[@ThommyofThenn]

I hadn't tried WoT yet so I had to look it up: 2D styles seem to be a form of skin or paintjob for your vehicles

[@ConeOfArc]

Yes that is correct

[@Vince_A_Bull]

2d styles also give a camo stat bonus, as do 3d styles and of course actual camo. paint does not effect stats.

Man I have a love/hate affair with the M-60. My dad loved it and could operate one even though he wasn't a tanker. So could his buddies in his SF team.

[@FallenPatriot]

I will be happy if someone would help me with identification. It could be T-54AM2, I have no idea why some sources say T-54A have D10TG2 cannon, however it could be T-54AM2 or T-55 ( one of early )

[@FallenPatriot]

6:40 oh yes, my bad. It is T-54-3 or T-54AM2. Roof said a lot of it. Thank you for helping solving the problem. T-54-3 is 1951 or later design.

[@brealistic3542]

Hearing real tank sounds WOTS needs to step up their game more then a little bit in this regard. Come on Chieftain, make them aware of this if you would. Have them get a recording crew and take in one if these weekends.

[@ConeOfArc]

It is VERY difficult to record tank sounds accurately. The ones you hear in the footage are also not quite accurate to what you hear IRL. The .50 cal firing for example goes from a death cannon to sounding like a star wars laser blaster

And yet it was still competitive.

[@iatsd]

@@oldesertguy9616 No, it really wasn't. It wasn't a liability, but it was definitely a POS compared to the latest and greatest at the time across each variant. By the time they got around to the A3 it was *almost* a modern tank, but it was still stuck with being too large, poor armour, and substandard survivability. Oddly, the *only* model that stood a chance of being world class at the time of introduction was the A2, which was completely under developed and ruined as a result.

You can find dozens of blogs and videos why not to waste your time,money or both on WoT if you want to research. Unbalanced maps, toxic community, Russian bias, pay to win+pay to progress (and pay a lot), junky RNG with too much influence on match outcome and million other reasons.
